Another cold day here but not as bad as yesterday where the temps were in the 30's but at least the sun does occasionally peep through today to brighten things.
It's a Long weekend here (Public Holiday Monday) and restrictions have been relaxed enough to allow families to venture off to Caravan Parks or recreation areas if they so wish. Time will tell if that was a good sound idea.
Bought a Pizza yesterday when I was at the Supermarket and had some last night for Dinner. That's the first one I've had for ages as I'm really not keen on them but just felt like something different. I most probably won't have another one now for 12 months or more.
Hi there Rick! Wishing you a beautiful 1st day of June, the month of roses love and pearls. I have been quite busy the last few weeks with Memorial day and all. I made a PowerPoint presentation which took like forever and getting my weekly publication out. Plus Bob's doctor's appointments etc. He is fine just routine check ups etc. But at least you can see the doctor now where we live. I love your page. I hope you are doing well and staying safe. BlessingsConnie
Well, our first official day of Winter was cold, wet and dreery. Such a good day to be indoors in the warmth. The forecast is for tomorrow to be much the same. Lots of things I can find to do indoors to keep me out of mischief.
Your sunny weather sure sounds nice. How high are your temps when you say a Heatwave? May be it will only last for a few days then back cooler again.
So glad you got the Mower problem sorted out. Bet your lawn is looking nice now. That grass grows so quickly in the Spring. I sure don't miss cutting the lawn however my neighbour has a large decidious tree that is hanging over my yard and it continually dropping leaves that I have to clean up. Problem is those leaves are also getting into the gutters on my house. Guess I may have to have Gutter Guards installed.
Have an appointment at the Hair Salon tomorrow for a much needed trim so am looking forward to that.
Hi Ric. Oh my, but we have had a wild and woolie day here with the wind blowing a gale but never the same direction twisting and throwing whatever if could lift then dumping it. I haven't heard of any major damage at this stage but there sure will be some cleaning up to do when it finally decides to quieten down.
Now that your days are longer and warmimg up you will be able to spend more time outdoors. Have you any projects on the go? Have you finished the painting job you were doing?
That's a cute Page you have there Ric. Love the colours.
Enjoy this day doing all the things you like to do. Be safe... Pat.
Wowee!!! Not been here for a while Hun ,you sure have a lovely page ,and i notice a lot of "US PICTURES" nod nod wink wink , You have done a grand Job lots of little hidden messages Love it all .Cant wait to start my own Blingee making again ,probably in the autumn ,But for now i will just enjoy yours .Thank you for visiting my page Hun and for all the lovelyness you send .
Hi There Ric. Many thanks for the Birthday Wishes. So nice of you. I did have a nice day with family at different times of the day. Have heaps of chocolates now:-)
How was your week? How is your area doing re the Covid Virus? I hope its much better now for everyone. Our State has been free for the past two weeks so restrictions are gradually being eased/ It hasn't bothered me all that much as I've plenty to do at home.
How is that Mower going? Have you managed to get it started? How large is your lawn area? Now your into Spring it must be growing rapidly.
You have a nice day Ric and a safe week. Take care.Pat.
Hi there Ric. It seems like Winter does not want to go away if you are still having cold weather. Well. Summer can't be too far away.
I'll bet that garage floor is looking rather nice now its painted. There is always work to be done around the house and yard.
Are you having problems starting your Mower? Yes it could be that the fuel/gas you are using is too old and accumalated some particles and sediment. I guess you need to empty the tank well before putting in the new lot. Its no fun when they won't start. I'm so happy I don't have lawns to mow now. Sure won't miss that task.
Very chilly here last night and morning. The frosts are now settling in. Once the sun was shining it gradually warmed the air. I did manage to get in some gardening during the afternoon. There are a few shrubs and plants already in the garden that I'm going to thin out or remove as they are not the type of thing I want there but I'll do that a little at a time.
Thanks for the Mother's Day wishes Ric. Yes I did have a nice day spent with family at different times during the day.
You have a nice day and a pleasant week. Take good care and be safe my friend. Pat.
Well it's been rather a cool last few days here along with rain. I can feel Winter is close at hand. Swept up the leaves that are falling from my Neighbours tree into my back area during the day. It's the first evergreen tree I've known to constantly drop leaves. Hopefully this will stop when Winter is fully upon us.
What were you painting Ric? was it a big job? One thing I won't miss is mowing lawns as I've not any here in my new home. I've set out several plants in my front garden but left them in the pots until I'm satisfied thats where i want them then they can go into the ground.
Went for a short walk with one of my little dogs earlier and now they are both curled up asleep.
Do hope that you have a pleasant day doing all the things you like to do. Stay safe...Pat.
Hi Ric. I'm not fussed about what game you think to cease as we can always return to it sometime in the future. You start the new one and I'll go along with whatever you choose.
Quite a pleasant day here with the sun breaking through around midday. I swept the neighbours leaves that had fallen into my yard and got quite a pile to put into th bin.I've never known an evergreen tree to lose so many leaves as this one does and especially on windy days.
Went to the Supermarket in the afternoon and topped up with the essentials came home and packed everything away before taking one of my little dogs for a short walk. Had some crumbed lemon & Garlic flavourd fish with a few chips and side Salad now relaxing at the computer with the TV going in the background.
There is a definate frosty feeling in the night air now, another sign that Winter is well on the way.
Have a pleasant day and a fulfilling week. Take care and stay safe...Pat.
Re those games Ric. I will leae it to you as to what to use and discard. Mond you I think we have had the ING game long enough even though their are still many words to use but we can always come back to it in the future. A new game will be refreshing
Well things are beginning to look a little better in most countries so hopefully we are all on the road to recovery from this devastating Virus. We have had one clear week of new cases within our State and restrictions are slowly being lifted but very cautiously. How is everything with you?
I spent yesterday afternoon working in the garden trimming plants and clearing the weeds that are growing madly since the rain. My daughter bought in some Field Musshrooms that she had picked. They were delicious.
I hope that the new month will bring you much health, peace and joy. Hugs and take care. Pat.
Wishing you a beautiful day filled with only good things peace, reflection. contemplation, Joy, and Love. Well here in UPSTATE NY we have to wear masks. I saw a lady I didn't know but she said Hi and I said (which was true) Hi I am smiling under my mask. She laughed. She had hers on too. Take care keep safe Hugs and prayers Connie
Hi Ric. Well that's good you have the shopping out the way. I did mine on the weekend so looks like we both are stocked up for awhile now. Still many essential items not on the shelves simply because they are dissappearing almost as quick as they stock them. So many people were bulk buying and now are trying to sell it online ar wanting the stores to buy it back. That's prohibited/illegal here so now they are stuck with everything.
My grandson has a few hives of Bees and gave me a jar of fresh golden honey. Its sooo delicious. Takes me back to my childhood when my father kept quite a few hives and we children had to help him extract the honey. Mind you the bees weren't too happy about that:-)
Christ the Lord has risen today Hallelujah! Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed Easter aka Resurrection Day.
An Easter Feast Although this year we may not be able to gather together in person we can in spirit meaning of this creation is found on my page under food. Just added.
May you have a wonderful Easter in spite of everything.
Well. Easter has arrived and it will be somewhat different for many people this year but I hope and trust a safe one for all.
Its Easter Sunday midday as I sit here sending messages. It's a beautiful sunny day after a crisp morning. I do hope that your day will be a pleasant one. Enjoy and take care. Pat.
Hi dear Rick! How are you? My page for Holy is week is finished with a some extra information about how special each day is starting today with Mundy Thursday (the Last Supper) With pictures I created and some history. I do hope you will and look and read if you want to listen to the music by Sandi Patty and are using chrome you can turn it on to others it will automaticly play but if you want to turn it off you can as well... But I hope you will listen to at least once through. May our Lord Jesus Christ and His Love for us bless you this Holy week. The passover story under the picture of it is to let you know what it is all about I do hope you will come and see it. The background is by Pamela D. I want to give a special thank you to Pamela D and her amazing creative ablitlies and Doc. Shell for sharing it on her site and with our dear friend no longer on NOTH Elizabeth H. who inspired this background. Most all the creations on the page are created by me except of course the music video taken from the Passion of the Christ.
Hi Rick Thank you so much for the Birthday well wishes. It was indeed good and just keeps going. Although the weather here isn't that great. I am enjoying it anyway. To day is Leap Day as this is Leap year. Take care Hugs and blessings Connie
Hoping you are having a pleasantly warm and cozy evening. It's a windy morning here and the sun is shining warmly. I'll have to check to see the weather for a cool change as it feels like one is blowing in also could be a thunderstorm too as my little dog who is frightened of storms is stressing out as she does when storms are around.
I notice our days are getting a little shorter especially in the mornings. I guess your looking forward to sping. The way the weeks are speeding by it will be with you before you know it:-). Have a nice evening and a relaxing Sunday. God Bless. Pat.
Hi Ric. Did you manage to get your shoppimg done? I did mine yesterday and that will keep me stocked up for some time. Next time I go to the Supermarket I get $10 off my shop. That's from bonus points that I earnt. I have to go to town again tomorrow morning on business but won't stay there any longer than I have too.
Not sure about there being a cashless society here yet. It could be in some places around Sydney but I've not heard of it. It won't catch on very quickly. It's like those Self Service Checkouts. Not too many people use them. I've gone through a couple of times but prefer the normal checkouts.
Have been sitting here watching the Tennis match being played this evening. It's a sport I never played but still looks good to watch.
Warming up here again as the temps have been over 100 for several days and much warmer tomorrow then cooling off near the end of the week. At the rate the weeks are speeding by it won't be long and Autumn will be here. Enjoy your day. Hugs Pat.
Thought I would surprise you with my new Blingee Rickykins. So nice to be back at Blingee if only for a short while . Lovely Page here hun,your doing great ,keep it up. Stay Safe ,Stay Healthy And keep warm .God Bless you always . Your little Summerkins .I am Never too far away. BOOOH!!!
Oh your weather does sound cold Ric. I hope it warms up before you have to go to the stores.
I used to have a pair of those Headphones that covered the ears but they finally wore out and i never replaced them. they had individual volume controll for each ear piece/cover and were very comfortable.
Monday and Tuesday were really busy and full days for me but much quieter today so took things easier:-) Tomorrow will be spent on the usual house chores with an extra deep clean.
Hi Ric. You certainly did get a bargain with your Headset. I rarley do shopping on the Internet for several reasons. One has to pay for the shipment which can take the price much higher and if its not right or something is wrong or does not fit then you have to send it back and that's a real hasle/pain that I don't want to bother with. Also shopping locally keeps jobs. Also If it was clothing or shoes I like to try things on as differnt Brands have totally different sizing.
All the games are going well and the new ones are a nice challenge.
My daughter drove me to the City last Thursday for an appointment at the RAHospital for an MRI on my back regarding surgery. On the way home we managed to do a little shopping and got some bargains. That was nice.
Its going to be a busy week for me with something on most every day. The weather is a little cooler so that will be good.
Have a nice evening Ric. Take care and God Bless. Pat.
Good evening Ric. That's a nice bright page you have there:-)
All those new Games are a pleasant change. That beginning and ending with the same letter is more of a challenge. I've been jotting down on paper ones each time I think of them then transfer to a Word doc on the computer so they are handy when I want to use one.
A warmish day here but won't be as hot as we have had. I need to go to town on business later and also call into the supermarket for some things especially coffee Latte. Love the Hazlenut flavour:-)
I sure do hope your evening will be cozy warm and relaxing. Take care & God Bless. Pat.
SURPRISE SURPRISE!!!! Made a Blingee tonight.the first one for over a year .will make a better one next time ,just wanted to know i still remembered how to do them .xx Whooo.takes time though looking for stamps . God Bless . X Summer X
May your New Year be filled with wonderful experiences, good health, prosperity, and love and may you be able to stick to whatever New Year's resolution you made. :) HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020. Love and Hugs Connie
Happy New Year to the Bestest Cyber friend ever. May the year ahead be full of happiness and health for my little Gem Friend that is you . God Bless You Always Rickykins . Big Big Hug ,might throw in a little kiss too x There you go .x X Summer X
Hi Ric. That was a nice Blingee graphic you made. You did good work there.
Yes, it has been rather hot here and today was no exception with temps over the century and strong winds that blew up a bad Duststorm dropping visibilty way down. Then came the electrical storm that passed rather quickly thank goodness as they are always such a worry in the heat and dry. Thankfully, so far we have not been effected by the major Bushfires burning as they are further to the south. Not much hope of them being put out unless we get a good heavy rain and thats not forecast.
Your weather sounds rather warm for this time of the year or does that happen your way?
I need to go to town tomorrow for some items so hoping it will be a little cooler then.
